Ever since the 1950s, spanking has been practiced for the pleasure of adults in the Cape Cod village of Random Point. These stories detail the blossoming and increasing sophistication of young women's interest in the underground world of submission and dominance. As characters experiment as tops and bottoms, perfect their chosen roles, and investigate the benefits and drawbacks of various partners, the theme remains the same: submissive women searching masterful men who will turn them over their knees. At the center lies the mischievous Susan Ross, an Ivy League brat who is testing many men to see if any are what she needs: a handsome dominant to give her the spanking she deserves.
